Kerala woman missing in Tadiandamol Hills found safe, brought back
Bengaluru (PTI): A 36-year-old woman who went missing while trekking in the Tadiandamol hills of Kodagu district four days ago has been found, the office of Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre said on Sunday.
Official sources said she is safe and is being brought back.
G S Sharanya had travelled alone from Kerala for the trek and was staying at a private homestay in Kakkabe village.
She had set out for the high mountain range of Tadiandamol hills on April 2 with a guide and 15 other trekkers, but went missing that afternoon.
Earlier, the minister said additional personnel and drone cameras had been deployed to search for her, following Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s instructions to intensify the operation.
As soon as her disappearance was reported, five teams comprising 50 personnel—including police, the anti-Naxal squad, a dog squad, and forest staff—were formed to conduct searches.
With four additional teams of 40 personnel deployed, a total of nine teams were involved in the operation.
The young woman had last contacted the homestay by phone on Thursday, saying she had lost her way.
The minister had earlier said, “We are conducting the search based on her last phone location. Local tribal people have also rushed to help, and sophisticated thermal drone cameras have been deployed, along with an additional team starting today.”

Assam Police at Pawan Khera's residence in national capital, Delhi Police assisting
New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.
The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.
Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
